Very small play area. 4 swings. The boardwalk to the water is paved making it stroller/handicap accessible but it is down hill the entire way. Short walk to the water. My guess why the tall fence around the park would be all the gators we saw. We saw at Lear 4 gators. There is only 3 parking spots but they were full. Pretty and quiet area.

This isn’t a long trail but great fun for kiddos. The boardwalk trail is handicap accessible. The red of the trail is not. We have seen a bob cat here while being very quiet but if you’re making noise you’re not likely to see any birds or wildlife. We see butterflies and sometimes alligators at the end of the boardwalk. This is a great imaginative creative nature play area for kids.

There is an entrance feee so be prepared for that. It’s not bad through. The nature center is larger than some and the kids really enjoyed it. They have unique things to see compared to others. The happy trail isn’t long and easy to navigate. The garden area is locked unless a worker is present. If a worker is there you might get lucky and get to dig up a fresh carrot or a sample. There was very little staff present. Definitely make sure you bring mosquito spray. They weren’t terrible but definitely noticeable if you stood still. Lots of picnic tables near the amphitheater but that’s where I noticed the mosquitos were the worst.

Used to love this park. Unfortunately the hiking trails have been closed since storms Nicole and Ian back in 2022. It’s been a year since the boardwalks have been available. Also the playground area has horrible amounts of red ants. Everytime we go at least one kid in our group ends up covered in ant bites.

Very well kept park. Not a lot of shade on the walking trail section. The baseball fields have shaded seating.
